On December 5th we are releasing the biggest update to Company of Heroes 3 ever – Steel Shepherd (1.4.0), along with The Hammer & Shield Expansion Pack. It’s going to be a big day for the game, so mark it in your calendars!
Steel Shepherd is bringing impactful updates, new free content including maps, and additional improvements to key areas of the game. We already gave an overview of what players should look out for back when we released our Roadmap in late August. Replays, a new 1v1 Map, Onboarding Improvements, and several gameplay updates were among what was revealed at this time. However, since then, we’ve been able to squeeze additional improvements and content into Steel Shepherd, which we think players will really appreciate. One such item is a major Visual Update which encompasses numerous areas of the game. Not only that, but we’re also introducing a substantial overhaul of the Campaign Map Systems, a Main Menu Redesign, an additional 2v2 Map, and more!
You can now see all of the items you can expect in Steel Shepherd in the graphic below. On November 30th, we will be diving deep on several of the changes in Steel Shepherd, so make sure to stay tuned to our social channels and our new Company of Heroes Twitch channel to soak up all the details.
The Hammer & Shield Expansion Pack is also releasing on December 5th, alongside the Steel Shepherd update. Hammer & Shield introduces two contrasting new Battlegroups for Multiplayer/ Co-op and Single Player Skirmish — the US Forces Advanced Infantry Battlegroup and the Wehrmacht Italian Coastal Battlegroup.
For solo strategists, an all-new British Forces Air & Sea Campaign Company allows you to tackle the Italian Campaign with bold combined arms tactics that synergize particularly well with the free Campaign Map overhaul arriving in Steel Shepherd. In addition, Hammer & Shield also includes four Premium Cosmetic packs, equipping each army with new cosmetics for select units.
Hammer & Shield will be available for $16.99 USD from December 5th.
Over the coming weeks we will be sharing more information about the content in Hammer & Shield. For now, check out our short Sizzle Trailer which gives a flavor of each piece of content in Hammer & Shield.
